Ok, so I want to try and add as much nutrients to my families diet. My children eat pretty well, but they do go through some stages of saying yuck to every meal. My son claims that he loves the colour green but some days doesn’t like any green vegetables. When he was younger tho, he had a thing for raw vegetables. Which he still enjoys now and again, to some extent.

So if you are having some trouble with your kids eating vegetables, try giving it to them raw, (of course for children that can chew on them well enough) because their taste buds are different to ours.

The surprise in this bolognese is superfood lambs liver and homemade broth. Added bonus is that offal and homemade broth are so cheap to buy and make.

I was lucky enough that the kids ate it without saying things such as ‘ something taste funny’ or ‘ew! what is this?’
So now you too can try to add as much extra nutrients in sauces and shepards pie’s as well.

Heat oil/ghee in a saucepan and add garlic and onion. Stir and sauté on medium low heat until soft.

Add chopped carrot, celery, spinach or kale and cook until veggies are soft.

Break apart beef mince into pan and sprinkle salt on the beef, break up lumps of mince with a wooden spoon until it's all separated and beef is browned and well cooked with the fat starting to rise to the top.

Add herbs, basil, pepper and tomato paste to beef and stir.

Stir in tomato passata and homemade broth to the beef and bring to a boil.

Cook for 2 hours on medium low heat covered until the sauce is well cooked and you start to see the oils rise to the top. (Stir once in a while)

When sauce is ready, stir in the minced liver. Turn heat off and let the liver cook in the residual heat while stiring. Cover pot.

Sauce is ready after 5 min and test seasoning.

Notes

You know what your family prefers so please add or remove any ingredient of your choice and chop your vegetables as coarsely or finely as you like.
